The Ashes 2006-7 - England v Australia

Whitewash it is then.

I said earlier today that it'd be finished by 2am.

I even took some pictures .You might say its a bit silly coz i took it from TV but yeah some of them came out pretty good and i stored it in my Computer .if someone wants to see them tell me .

The Sad demise of english test cricket this morning in the Sydney has ended the long lasting misery england has suffered since last ashes. they initially recieved severe wounds from subcontinent tours, but insult was added to injury by the home inflicted wounds by lankans. Though the last pakistan tour provided some relief mainlt thanks to the witch doctor Hair, and ICC ranking declared then almost fully fit, just second to the superfit ausies. Unfortunately the consistant blows recieved throughout current Ashes eventually lead to death.

Post mortem reports will be available pretty soon, but it is largely believed that the cause of death was a long lasting ailment named fletcher which made english test team unable to withstand any competition!   ffs get over it already!!!!

Was just a mention mate, see how a team gets to number 2 spot undeservingly, and gets hammered, showing an obvious distance of light years between the two!

Sorry mate, but this one was not just a tour, english coaches always hide their poor performance behind Ashes preperation. This is the only excuse that has always been given for their dismal performance in one dayers as to have a great team for test matches specially ashes. This fooling around has been continued for some 20-30 years, and this loss should be an eye openner for all english fans that everything is not right. Well you can say england had been no.2 in test ranking but even die hard fans know how England fair on ground.

In the aftermath of this disaster, I'd like to acknowledge the onyl part of Englands tour which deserves full respect...our support. When we were 9 down yesterday I listened to the Barmy Army singing their hearts out, making more noise than the Aussies even on such a momentous day for Australian cricket, the trumpet player getting a few laughs for playing "Living on a Prayer" etc etc, and I thought 'you don't deserve these supporters, you really don't'. I think if I'd been in the players shoes it would have made me feel really ashamed, and I hope it did to all of them...it was good to see them go over to thank them at the end, it seems they do appreciate how brilliant the fans were. I even saw someone doing a "we are not worthy" bow-down before them gesture! Damn straight you weren't worthy.

Still, at least that ****ing nightmares over, we can now spend the next twenty years talking endlessly about 2005 instead! Whitewash? What whitewash?

Perhaps you can explain to us all how a team "undeservingly" got to number 2 after beating West Indies home and away, South Africa away , drawing in India plus home wins against New Zealand, Australia and Pakistan (as well as the minnows)?

I don't think Pietersen could have done any more, he's the only one for me

I can promise Eng wont be second for long if they continue to play like this. Vaughan will struggle to get back in form as for Jones, i think his injuries may just take their toll on him. I fear for the eng bowlers in the current series.

I congratulate the Aussies on their5-0 series win and I was very unhappy and happy when I watched the departure on the three Australians greats. I don't know after how lnog they will ever see another McGrath or a Warne.

Well, well played Aussies, but just wait until 2009

Well i got a big joke, HAYDEN said England was powerless, He got mouth now, why on earth he didn't say those words in the 2005 ashes.
